Now that this site is up, I’ll be giving quick thoughts on each new release I see. But I have seen several films so far in 2012 that I’ve only tweeted about. You can search my Twitter feed (well, you could if the Twitter search function weren’t such a piece of shit) to see what I said about each movie, but here are my grades for the films I’ve seen so far:

MISS BALA (2012, Naranjo) — 8

HAYWIRE (2012, Soderbergh) — 7

SAFE HOUSE (2012, Espinosa) — 5

WANDERLUST (2012, Wain) — 7

21 JUMP STREET (2012, Lord/Miller) — 6

THE RAID: REDEMPTION (2012, Evans) — 7

THE DEEP BLUE SEA (2012, Davies) — 5

THE HUNGER GAMES (2012, Ross) — 5

THE KID WITH A BIKE (2012, Dardennes) — 9

JIRO DREAMS OF SUSHI (2012, Gelb) — 7

AMERICAN REUNION (2012, Hurwitz/Schlossberg) — 5

THE CABIN IN THE WOODS (2012, Goddard) — 9

THE AVENGERS (2012, Whedon) — 6

I’ll be shocked if THE KID WITH A BIKE and CABIN IN THE WOODS are not on my top 10 list this year — in fact, they’ll likely make the top 5, unless this turns out to be as great a year as 2011 was. Again, if you need an explanation of the 1-10 grading system (and who really does anymore?) it’s on my About Me page.
